Harmondsworth is a village to the north of today's Heathrow Airport.

Harmondsworth was originally a parish, with the name first recorded in AD 780 when King Offa granted land to his servant Aeldred. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book, its name coming from the Anglo-Saxon Heremodes worþ, meaning 'Heremod's enclosure'.

The church of St Mary within the village has with parts dating from the 12th century. The Grade I listed Harmondsworth Barn, Britain's largest tithe barn, made entirely without nails.

There are two UK Border Agency immigration removal centres in Harmondsworth. British Airways is headquartered in Waterside in Harmondsworth. The building officially opened in 1999.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
